Coach will not predict mile relay
KU track coach Bob Timmons is making no predictions about the outcome of the mile relay in this weekend's Big Eight indoor track meet in Kansas City.
"It's one big guessing game," Timmons said Wednesday. "There are lots of factors to take into consideration, like how many members of other teams are tired from previous events and what teams we draw to run against in the preliminary heat."
The best competition should come from Nebraska, a team which has run 3:19.8, and Oklahoma, which has a top of 3:16.1, Timmons said.
KU's fastest time this year is 3:17.4, compared to the school record of 3:16.8, set in last year's conference meet when the Jayhawks won the event.
Timmons will not say which runners will compete, saving that decision until the last minute.
KU's top quartet throughout the indoor season has been composed of senior Ben Olison and sophomores Julio Meade, Mark Ferrell and Randy Julian.
The relay, since it is the final event of the meet, is important because if the team race is close it could determine the champion of the meet.
